I spent a day in rural Indonesia with Dikha, the aura farming boat dancing kid. He's a normal, sweet 11-year-old. Now he's bulletin-board material for the 200 other boat dancers who can't believe he went viral. They think they have more talent. wsj.com/lifestyle/indo…
I went to Vietnam and shadowed Steve from Wisconsin, who’s on the front lines of the trade war. Steve imports lawnmower parts, pickleball paddles and other stuff. At factories, we learned why even with 46% tariffs, supply chains may still favor Vietnam. wsj.com/world/asia/tra…
Vietnam’s new war museum pulls no punches on “U.S. imperialists.” But it’s hot souvenir? A selfie with an American tourist. Fifty years after the war, the Vietnamese haven’t forgotten—but they’ve moved on. Kids welcome Americans like celebrities. wsj.com/world/asia/vie…
Navy SEAL. Harvard doctor. NASA astronaut. Jonny Kim is a legend -- and for many Asian Americans, a source of mild anxiety. You might have seen the memes. But Kim credits his success to focus, a frisbee injury and a job handing out parking tickets. wsj.com/lifestyle/jonn…
Vietnam was more attractive than China as a factory hub because of lower wages and tariffs. Now Trump’s new 46% tariff is upending one of modern history’s great comeback stories: the mending of U.S.-Vietnam ties after the war. From Hanoi: wsj.com/world/asia/in-…

In Vietnam’s Streets and Factories, Boom Built on U.S. Trade Suddenly Looks Fragile
As Trump’s 46% tariffs loom, one furniture factory owner has a sore throat from talking to so many customers to renegotiate orders.
Chinese Ships Are Carrying America’s Cargo. The U.S. Wants to Reverse That. Beijing’s support helps its shipbuilding industry capture more than half the global market @stuwoo wsj.com/world/china/ch…
The world's biggest fast-food chain isn't McDonald's any more. It's Mixue. I hadn't heard of this Chinese brand till moving back to Asia last year. Now I see it everywhere. It has 45,000 stores and has its IPO in Hong Kong tomorrow. wsj.com/business/retai…
One of the most important people in AI is Jonah Alben, an engineering lead at Nvidia. One of the most amazing about him is how, when he was a coxswain on Stanford’s rowing team, tested the limits of his bladder. wsj.com/tech/the-rower…
Nvidia and the U.S. are battling over Nvidia's strategy of selling chips to China, which helped DeepSeek. Each time the U.S. limited what Nvidia could sell to China, Nvidia designed a new chip to push the limits. @raffaelehuang @asafitch wsj.com/tech/ai/nvidia…
I’ve been obsessed with how DeepSeek pulled it off. @raffaelehuang and I answered it today. Its recipe: a loophole in U.S. export controls and clever shortcuts to train AI — empowered by the unusual practice of hiring the *least* experienced engineers. wsj.com/tech/ai/china-…
The world’s richest person (Elon Musk) met China’s richest person (TikTok founder Zhang Yiming) last while Congress was banning the app. Will this relationship help save TikTok? With @raffaelehuang wsj.com/tech/china-sig…

TikTok’s founder became China’s richest man by devising formulas for his life. But the U.S. appears on the verge of crushing his real dream: running a global company. wsj.com/tech/tiktok-fo…
An Asian icon is going extinct. In Indonesia, volunteers stand in the middle of the street and direct traffic for tips. But the country’s cashless push means there’s less change for them. I spent a day with Azis, who used to make $16 a day. Now it’s $12. wsj.com/lifestyle/traf…
How did TikTok get a shot at reversing the nationwide ban due to start Jan. 19? Behind the scenes, a TikTok adviser and Trump ally named Tony Sayegh worked to persuade Trump that the ban was a bad idea. w/@georgia_wells @DanaMattioli @raffaelehuang wsj.com/business/how-t…
TikTok is reaching out for insight about the U.S. from Elon Musk, who is both owner of a rival social-media platform and one of President-elect Trump’s closest confidants on.wsj.com/4962m8F
Meet the first boomtown of the artificial intelligence age. I checked out the $4 billion worth of AI data centers bizarrely being built next to palm-oil plantations in Malaysia, thanks to its coal-fueled power surplus. wsj.com/tech/ai/one-of…
China has an Olympic medal in breaking, thanks to a B-girl who goes by 671. She did a crazy head slide. Now she’s a bronze medalist.
She trains half as much as other world-class weightlifters. A few minutes ago, she became an Olympic champion.
Olivia Reeves is a once-in-a-generation talent heavily favored to end Team USA's 24-year gold-medal drought in weightlifting. Her secret to success: training half as much as her peers. w/@Bachscore wsj.com/sports/olympic…
